Description
Summary:A low-cost wireless sensor for the real-time detection of food contamination and quality has been developed by collaborating researchers from the Vietnam National University, and CEA-LETI and Universite Grenoble Alpes in France. In their approach, RFID passive tags are transformed into sensors that show potential to create a non-invasive, robust and cheap alternative that could be used by small companies and individuals in the food industry and agriculture. RFID technology offers many advantages with automatic capture and data storage in a smart tag with a potentially unlimited lifespan, and is widely used today in traceability applications. The researchers expect that the applications of RFID-based sensors will increase rapidly over the next decade, particularly in the biomedical and agriculture fields.
